Nyx

Changeling / Rogue

Submitted character story

Nyx was only 7 years old when her nomadic tribe was attacked. Her parents told her to take her brother, run, and not look back. A few hundred feet into the woods, she stopped and told Sol to climb their favorite tree.

"Stay here. I'm going back for mom and dad. Wait for me."

By the time she got back to camp, everything was engulfed in flames - the corpses of her tribe scattered among ashes and blood. She stifled her tears and ran back to the tree.

"Sol, come down we need to go!"

No response. Nyx looked for her little brother among the trees until the sun went down, and continued the next day. 

And the next.

And the next...

When she had to move on, she hid in plain sight - fearing what could happen if anyone ever found out what she really is. She paid for things when she could, and stole when she had to in order to survive. Her most recent prize was a set of clothing that can transform into anything the wearer can imagine, allowing her to change her outward appearance in its entirety in seconds. 

Now, she travels the world, doing odd jobs, adventuring, or hunting bounties to make enough to live as she searches far and wide for the only member of her family she has left.

"Wait for me, Sol"
